New video of my old stuff.

tougeC · 04-17-2005, 01:25 AM

nice vid...but wtf is up with the camber on the 240 sx?? that can't be good...your wheels would point down when you turn :x Not to mention the horrible turn-in you would have. Oh well...it's not my car. =P

How will they point down? More camber = more turning radius, more grip. Everyone on the internet is bitching about the camber, I have tried many settings, this one i like the most, very crisp handling.

tougeC · 04-17-2005, 01:49 AM

well..about a fourth of your tires are touching the pavement..so i dont see how that's gonna help you in the grip department...but its not my decision..so dont mind what I say. I was just stating my opinion.

dorifuto · 04-17-2005, 02:05 AM

Camber angle alters the handling qualities of a particular suspension design - in particular, negative camber improves grip when cornering. This is because it presents the tyre which is taking the greatest proportion of the cornering forces at a more optimal angle to the road, increasing its contact area and transmitting the forces through the vertical plane of the tyre, rather than through a shear force across it.

Different driving styles can also influence the desired camber angle as well. An enthusiastic driver who corners faster than a reserved driver will receive more cornering grip and longer tire life from a tire aligned with more negative camber. However with the aggressive negative camber, a reserved driver's lower cornering speeds would cause the inside edges of the tires to wear faster than the outside edges.

sure thats all true...but to a certain extent....

drift matic · 04-17-2005, 06:28 AM

zerodrifter · 04-17-2005, 02:37 PM

why are all of your videos on wet surfaces? Is it personal preference or just to cut down on tires?

btw the video was sweet

my 1 88 u · 04-17-2005, 02:48 PM

b/c it rains alot, damn there are some haters up in here. You guys rock and are the only N. american guys bringing the touge footage regularly. BOOYAKASHA RESPECT MON, keep it up guys,

sidebyslide · 04-17-2005, 03:00 PM

nice vid and your car looks good. screw the neg camber comments. i say bring on the camber. it looks bada$$ not to mention it does provide you with oversteer

wtf? I'm not trashing at all, i was just asking a simple question. so it rains everyday in canada?

my 1 88 u · 04-17-2005, 04:16 PM

joke dude, easy

dorifuto · 04-17-2005, 06:48 PM

because i don't like half *Censored**Censored**Censored* drifts with a stock KA, especially uphill. I like to deliver quality footage and quality drifts, I do dry runs on the competition where it's flat and easy. Engine is blown now, so i am waiting for my rb20det to get installed.

it's cool man

in the previous thread too many people tried to prove to me that my drifting in the video was way too slow, and my suspension set up is pathetic. Well good for them, they haven't driven the road, they haven't driven my car and they already judge.

Welcome to the world of internet!

Take it to the track though. I really hate to see people trashing their cars or risking their lives drifting on mountains. It should be discouraged.

Btw, camber is not more negative the better. There is a point where you have too little contact patch between your tire and the road that causes instability in a straight line, especially in high speed. Thus making initial turn in less effective. The goal of negative camber is to get full contact patch under load. So it's possible to have too much.

Nice man. I envy you and your touge. How I wish I still lived in Richmond...
